    Things that are better with bacon

    semi-relevant Vegetarian rant:I stopped eating meat fifteen years ago. It hasn't even appealled for a long time. I recently got some beef in my Taco Bell ordered and thought I was going to hurl. Dead animals in my food . . . *shudder* yechhK! Occasionally, some idiot thinks it would be funny...

    Pathfinder 1E A gripey letter to Paizo

    I don't have problems with my postal service. When our long-time letter carrier, Harvey, died some years ago, the mail started coming between 1 and 4 p.m. instead of coming between 10:30 and 10:45 a.m., but otherwise, no complaints. We rarely (like once every ten years or more) get someone...

    PC race Moggae

    Okay, Krishnath. Thank you for the feedback. You've made it clear that I ought to explain my thinking process. Starting with PHB gnomes and the concept (stolen from a video game) for briliant inventors and machinists made sicly and weak by enslavement, I added the phrenic creature template from...

    PC race Moggae

    Really!? +2? First, are the ability scores balanced? Second, don't the 4 racial HD count against the power level more than for it? Third, Can you point to any specifics? I'd like to make this playable - ideally, without a LA.

    English converted to English

    John, I have no doubt that your theory is spot-on, but I have serious objections to the information presneted on the page you link to. Much of it is over-generalization, or simply wrong. "boro?" I've never seen this. "catalog/catalogue" either is fine. I actually prefer the latter...

    PC race Moggae

    Yeah, I suppose that I do need to amend their physical description to describe them as pale, sickly-looking rock gnomes. I just need to figure out how best to word it. As for LA, this is exactly what I'm trying to avoid. Are there any particular traits that strike you as pushing them over the...

    English converted to English

    I laughed out loud. See also: http://www.engrish.com Many nouns are highly dialectical: "Coke" in the southeastern US to about Tennessee is "Pop" in the Northeast and "Soda" on the coasts with very few other alternatives, until you get all the way accross the pond to where they call it a...

    Cutlery

    Raised in California by a German mother, I used the "American Style" until I was first made aware of how ridiculous European etiquette mavens found the practice, shortly before my first visit to the Fatherland at age sixteen (nobody there cared how I handled my utensils, either, but my mother...

    Products You'd Like WoTC to do

    Fair enough, but I actually want to see Planescape be the third or fourth in this series, rather than the first. It seems to me that when new series of books start from WotC, it takes them a bit of practice before they get it worked out. Dark Sun will take a lot of attention to be true to...

    PC race Moggae

    There was a question not too long ago about whether they are any LA +0 races with racial Hit Dice. I'm not a big fan of Level Adjustment, but I do like powerful races. Here are the Moggae, a subrace of gnomes warped by mind flayer enslavement ala the gith: Moggae The moggae (singular mog)...

    Complete Adventurer Erratta Posted--ATTENTION ALL SCOUTS!!!

    Wouldn't this 5-attack-5 require the shot on the run feat anyway? Given the cost, I don't see the problem. With regard to Disable Device, I too remember that being an intentional choice on the designers' part, and not one to which I objected.
